Rick,
The manual does *not* state that an RCA plug will be used on both ends
of the Keyline cable.
Yes, the KXPA100 end is an RCA plug and that is clearly shown, but the
other end must match the transceiver and since several types of
connectors are used on transceivers for KEYOUT, the KXPA100 must be
ambiguous about the connector on the transceiver end (i.e. the FT-817
uses a DIN connector IIRC).
In the case of the KX3, a 2.5mm stereo plug is needed. The ring contact
is keyline output and the shield or common conductor of the cable
connects to the shell.
It may be easier to just order the KXPACBL than cutting your cable and
wiring in the 2.5mm stereo plug.

Guess what? I need assistance!
I am attempting to connect my KX3 to my new KXPA100, and am stumped with the
Key Line Cable shown on page 8.
This is a doubled ended RCA plug type cable. It references fig 5 on pg 18 for
the basic installation, (no KXPACBL).
Paragraph 6, pg 19, seems to say that the Key Line Cable goes to ACC2 on the
KX3. Great, except the RCA plug does not come close to fitting the 3.5 mm
ACC2 jack. What am I doing wrong?
